-
The challenge was to bring a fresh and unique look to Movida’s fourth book, while celebrating the aesthetic of Southern Spain. Hand-drawn lettering combined with illustration inspired by hand-painted signs and character-filled typography from Andalusia were my inspirations. The design is broken up into four parts: chapter openers; recipes; breakout stories; and guides. For each, I tried to alter the design enough to provide clear navigation, interest and good flow. The main recipe font was inspired by medieval letterforms, and was what I based my hand-drawn version on.
